Nuclear energy comes from power plants. It also has many good qualities. For example, it's fuel for fusion is readily available. It is renewable, so we don't have to wait for long amounts of time for more fuel to reappear. Another positive thing about this type of energy is that it does not emit harmful toxins into the air. It doesn't contribute to Global Warming, which is already causing the world trouble. Nuclear energy powers the economy because it is so reliable. It also reduces the dependence on oil. It has many uses, such as supplying our homes with electricity and lets us do things such as use the computer, or using the oven. One of it's most important uses is detecting and treating illnesses, such a cancer. It helps us do everyday activities without destroying our environment. Even though the cost of this energy is high, it is still worth it. Nuclear energy helps bring more positive possibilities into the world than negative. To shut down a power plant, it costs $300,000,000. Power plants have cost the country over $492,000,000,000. New reactors would be between $3,600-$4,000. Even though it costs a lot of money, American's have saved over $44,000,000,000. Although it costs a lot of money to keep power plants working, it saves a good amount of money too. Nuclear energy is reusable, which is worth the costs, since it is saving our environment. Nuclear energy helps bring more positive possibilities into the world than negative.
